Currently, we are searching for a proactive, experienced, and self-governing Senior UX Researcher in our Grasshopper product development team. As such, you’ll actively direct UX research activities, creating and executing a strong research plan, and delivering key insights that help to achieve our strategy.
At Grasshopper, we are at the beginning of an exciting transformation driven by agentic AI.

Alongside this transformation, our team is working on several strategic long-term initiatives that require deep customer understanding and continuous research input. These include a full UI transformation of our existing native iOS and Android applications into a unified React Native solution, expanding the portfolio of customer-facing AI capabilities, and deepening integrations with external partners and services.

You will work closely with the Product & UX Director and a team of highly talented Product Managers, Designers and Engineers who appreciate user experience and want to build the best products available in the market.
